Luxury Small Exterior Wall Cladding Ideas and Designs

A two-stage development on a premium Lake Macquarie address. We got involved early with ELK Architects, working through costs as the design evolved so nothing surprised anyone at DA.

Of the two sides of joinery we supplied, one of them included elegant French doors that opened out to the existing patio area. Welcoming all to the grand multi-levelled garden. The third wall was built using bricks to match those from the existing building. Cleverly concealing a short alley that led to a Garden store, whilst also providing the opportunity for a gallery wall internally. Adjacent to the orangery, we removed the existing bay area and introduced a small extension to match the timeless style of the orangery and provide a more usable and well-balanced dining room.

Materials: Most of our bricks were re-used from the demolition stage and some were reclaimed to match existing. Sliding doors: We used an IQ Glass heated double glazing door, in winter it also functions as a radiators.
